If you can't find what you are looking for used, think about checking out the Marlin XL7 in the 25/06. I bought one, new, for $300 5 yrs. ago and have killed 8 deer with it. I have never had to change zero on the scope since 1st sighting it in. Good trigger and accurate. Would make a young man a great 1st gun IMO. I have several expensive rifles, but have not grabbed any of them since I bought this great little, lightweight rifle. And I saw one a few weeks ago at the local pawn shop, used, for $250. Great caliber. Good luck
